I bought this because I wanted a single display that included speed, time, and temperature. It is mostly working well, albeit a little finicky.
First the weaknesses:
* The sensor really does need to be aligned very closely (2mm) with the wheel magnet. It seems much less tolerant than my previous sensor, which worked well with a much bigger gap.
* The supplied cable ties werent adequate to keep the sensor accurately positioned on my fork arm. It tended to slide around a little, thus falling out of alignment with the magnet. However that was easily solved by using a little electrical tape to fix the sensor in position.
* It requires a lot of force to "snap out" the computer head from its mount. (A squeeze clip might have helped there.)
* It took me a few days to get used to the mode button, which requires you to nudge the whole head forward a little. I was initially cursing it, but I now find it easy.
Now the good:
* Its great to be able to see speed, distance, time, and temperature at a single glance.
* The thermometer seems accurate. (Or at least it agrees with my other thermometers.)
* The display is easy to read, even with quick glances.
* Once installed, it has been sturdy and reliable.
Overall this is a big improvement over my previous cycle computer.
